At first sight of the title of this article, written on October 23, 2007, I became excited to see someone writing about, what I thought would be, how the amount of homework given to students these days is absurd. However, this article is no where close to what the title leads the reader to believe at first glance. In reality, Windsor comments on the supposed housing crisis that America is in and how the democrats are already on the way to fix it.
Windsor explains the housing crisis as something that is important to the democrats not because of what it will do, but what the democrats think it will do. The democrats want to create affordable housing for every American family. However, we have seen similar plans utterly fail in other places such as the USSR. The democrats had gone a long time without having someone in office, so once they finally did they wanted to take full advantage of it- "at all costs -- to the taxpayers."
Windsor, clearly standing against democrats, states that they are not actually trying to help, but they just want to congratulate themselves on accomplishing something. He recognizes the fact that affordable housing is needed everywhere, but just because it is needed does not mean that it should be given away. Additionally, over $1.6 billion is already spent doing practically the same thing.
It may seem as if democrats create the extremity of these issues on their own. "Democrats know the solution before most people know there's a problem." They publicize these problems in order to promote their solution; furthermore, promoting the government. The reason that people cannot afford housing is because the federal government takes so much of their paycheck. If the government got out of the way, the problem would evaporate. Permanent government housing is a goal that realistically can never be reached.
